The New England Colavita Racing Team and Belmont Wheelworks  teamed up to host Bike Aid for Haiti on February 4^th.  The fundraiser brought together the cycling community to provide aid for earthquake victims of Haiti.  The event was very successful with more than 250 people attendance.  The event raised over $6,000.00 with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Partners in Health (http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti)  

Special Thank Goes Out To:

• Clint Paige (President) of Belmont Wheelworks and the crew at Wheelworks for all their efforts.  Much preparation was needed to host such an event and the crew at Wheelworks worked tirelessly to ensure that the event ran smoothly.  Clint even reached out to many of the shop's vendors for raffle prizes.
